Puppet users - Nov 2013 - Permissions for Windows Files Sourced from Puppet Master

With the changes for http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18931 (Don''t
set
mode on Windows if not specified) &
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5240 (Default ownership for files
when uid/gid are unspecified), we''ve created the ability to specify
whether
to use source permissions, use when creating or ignore. We''ve left the
default to :use so things work as expected.

However with Windows, when things download they will not use source
permissions as it is not supported in Windows at all. So what you get is a
warning for sourced items:

Warning: Copying owner/mode/group from the puppet master to Windows agents
is not supported; use source_permissions => ignore.

That warning will go away when you''ve updated all sourced files to add
that
in your manifests.

Would anyone be at odds with us moving the default for windows for sourced
items to ignore the source permissions? This would remove the warning that
gets displayed in the upcoming version until you would change all sourced
files to add `source_permissions => :ignore`.

That way you would only see the warning if you tried to explicitly set the
source_permissions for a file.
